If the note states that the baby was delivered by the RN and the placenta was delivered spontaneously and the physician was not present during either, can the hospital still bill a facility charge for the delivery ? If so, what would we bill and couldyou guide me to the documentation to support so I can provide to my HIM director?
 
If it is a commercial insurance you can still bill global, however if it is Medicaid, you can only bill for visits and repairs done by the MD.
 
Just to clarify, I am looking at the ICD10 procedure code for the hospital to bill, not the professional charges for the phsycian.
